FREE MADONNA CONCERT

For the first time in seven years, Madonna is going on tour. The pop superstar  whose latest CD, Music, is holding strong at No. 6 on Billboard's top 200 album chart  will play New York's Roseland Ballroom on Nov. 5 and the Brixton Academy in London on Nov. 28. According to MTV News, tickets to the Big Apple gig, which will also feature a DJ set from former Jane's Addiction/Porno For Pyros frontman Perry Farrell and British singer Beth Orton, are free and will be given away via radio contests in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. In a statement, Madonna said she sees this as "a chance for me to get my feet wet on the stage again and a way to say thank you to an intimate group of my fans for all their support over the years."
